Addressing the meeting, RPO Wisal Fakhar asked the police officers to enhance security of Imambargahs to protect the processions and Majalis on eve of Chehlum of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS).

The Sikh Yatris should also be provided adequate security upon their arrival in Panja Sahib, he said. He ordered police to launch a massive crackdown to arrest the proclaimed offenders and other hardcore criminals to reduce the crime ratio in the region. “All the investigation officers should solve the cases purely on merit and should avoid bow before any pressure during investigation. Prime responsibility of police is to guard lives and properties of public,” RPO said.

He said the dacoits involved in looting banks should also be arrested immediately. Taking notice of gigantic traffic jam in Rawalpindi, RPO asked acting CTO to prepare comprehensive traffic plan for smooth flow of traffic.
